Re: Would anyone be interested in the "Photography Game" here? - P5se Camelback - 06-10-2010
So we have people not lovin' the "Eff's!" :cry: O.K.! 8-)
How 'bout some Juice Jacks ... a Kermit Geary Photograph that I just thought was cool I had to download it!
Ex-PRR 2-C-C-2 Electric at Spuyten Duyvil, NY

Now THAT one takes me back! I remember the from when I was very young.

Gary S Wrote:Charlie, I did not realize that it was a goverment regulation that prompted ATSF to convert all those F7s.
ATSF needed power for locals and switching. The government regulation was against using carbody style units for switching. Probably because of lack of appropriate footboards or places for trainmen to comfortably/safely ride the unit during those types of operations. They would have been fine as road units, but had out lived their service lives for that purpose.
The book "CF7s, From Cleburne to Everywhere" is a great read. Very interesting.
Re: Would anyone be interested in the "Photography Game" here? - Gary S - 06-10-2010
bil, what the heck is that thing in your photo??
PJ, that's interesting. And everyone else, it isn't that I HaTe the F units, just that I like Geeps much better.
Same thing with passenger trains... I much prefer a grubby grimy freight!
Re: Would anyone be interested in the "Photography Game" here? - P5se Camelback - 06-11-2010
It's a Beast, isn't it , Gary?
hock: It is an Ex-NYC T3 Class electric, primarily used to run passenger service through the tunnels under the Hudson River into New York City. It operated both off the overhead catenary as well as off the third rail. If you look at the wheel arrangement, 2-C-C-2, you will notice the same wheel arrangement and very similar running gear as the PRR's famous GG-1.

And for that comparison ...

Of course, being more of a Pennsy fan than a Central fan ... I vote for the GG-1!
Now back to the game ... and y'all have several choices of ways to go now ...
Re: Would anyone be interested in the "Photography Game" here? - Ralph - 06-11-2010
I've seen many photos of those T3's as NYC units but I think that was the first shot I've seen of one in PC paint. Thanks!
Ralph
Re: Would anyone be interested in the "Photography Game" here? - P5se Camelback - 06-11-2010
That's your first T3 in PC paint, Ralph? Geez! You've been deprived!
At the risk of going outside the rules of the game, allow me to humor Ralph!

Re: Would anyone be interested in the "Photography Game" here? - Charlie B - 06-14-2010
I don't want to be a spoil sport here, so I want to review the rules for the newer people.
First a picture can be followed with a like piece of equipment (steam locomotive/ steam locomotive of any type) ( cab unit/ cab unit of any type F/E/FA/PA/Shark etc). With the other diesels a like model locomotive should follow, and you should play off of the main subject.
You may also post a unit or rolling stock with the same reporting marks (UP locomotive/UP box car) or box car with any box car, etc).
You can also play off of the unit number (not including the reporting marks) ( a loco number 7135 with any equipment numbered 7135)
Models are acceptable, and encouraged.
As with all pictures posted on the Gauge, they must be your picture or you must have the rights to post it.

My most humble apologies! :oops:
Re: Would anyone be interested in the "Photography Game" here? - Charlie B - 06-14-2010
apology not needed, the rules were never made clear. We are however lacking model pictures. My excuse is no close layout at the moment but soon I will have to take a few shots on the old layout before it meets the scrappers torch.

I do believe PC is the current line. A PC transfer caboose, Conway, 1977

Re: Would anyone be interested in the "Photography Game" here? - Ralph - 06-14-2010
I can't let this opportunity go by!
An early morning conversation with the car float yard office. Next pic can be anything PC, any caboose, or anything with the cabin's number. Thanks for the explanation and reminder of how the game works Charlie! ![[Image: IMG_1795.jpg]](http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa145/Ralph59/IMG_1795.jpg)

Re: Would anyone be interested in the "Photography Game" here? - Gary S - 06-14-2010
Pow! Ralph hits one out of the park, good-bye Mr. Spalding!
Very serendiptous
Re: Would anyone be interested in the "Photography Game" here? - Ralph - 06-14-2010
Hee hee! Thanks Gary. Usually my reaction time is more like, "Gee, I could have posted a photo there two days ago if I'd noticed!:

Wait a sec! Are those the rules?
So an FP7 can be followed by an FP9 but a GP7 can't be followed by a GP9?
Why the liberal treatment of cab units but absolute strict compliance with other diesels? :o

You caught that one on the sweet spot. I smiled and said "Way to go Ralph!"
